apocalypto
Don't know if I spelt that right but anyway...
Watched it last night and found it really stressful to watch. Then I ended up dreaming that me and my kids were on a ferry and it sank, must be something about the wife in the whole! Anyone else seen it, and what do you think? |

I have been hearing a lot of reports that its not bad actually.
I havn't seen it, and I am a massive film snob, but... loads of people who were pretty well set on not liking it came out thinking it was good. :D |

I am not into seeing people getting butchered. If that's what Apocalypto is about, then thats good enough for me to miss it. |

Fair enough. No thanks.
Count me out so. |
It's a Mel Gibson flick, there's some laughs, some torture, some gratuitous violence. It's sort of like crossing Braveheart with Cannibal Holocaust.
I thought it was pretty good and not a single Hollywood Leg end in sight. For that reason it's tremendously well acted :) The camera work is damn good and it's a ripping yarn. Go see it if you're not too squeamish!! |
I saw this movie last night here with spanish subtitles due to the characters speaking some form of ancient dialect. When I discovered that the film was 139 minutes long I was a little nervous as I felt sure aching butt syndrome would kick in way before the end.
In truth after the first 15 minutes which was a little slow as the characters were presented to us, the rest flowed very quickly indeed. Yes there is some gory stuff going on but anyone doing a little bit of research or having a feel for Mel Gibson's movies would not have been overly stressed. In all I enjoyed the film and the violence displayed was almost slapstick compared with say the flogging sequence in the The Passion of Christ which I found extremely disturbing largely due I guess, to the fact that it was so graphic and prolonged. |
